Grad School Aauugghhh

I guess I am just in blogging mode now, geez, I don't know what my problem is. So I read Teetz's post earlier about grad school and stuff, and I am disappointed to see he was not nearly as enthused about our kiss as I was. Lest he forget, he kissed me. He is never going to live this one down, I love when he does silly things I can tease him endlessly for. Anyway, grad school. I have been looking at them for a little while now, and it occurs to me that Teetz is studying a lot for the GRE, and then I think maybe I should study too. But I never study for anything so then I think I will be fine, but then I remember this will pretty much decide the rest of my life. Now, I have a little bit longer to study than Teetz, because for educational psychology I have to have at least two years of teaching experience first. However, educational psychology is not my only interest, there is so much I want to do - I want to work in special education and I also want a degree in school administration. I am going to be in school for a long, long time - which I don't mind, as long as it is not busy-work. I hate busy-work, that's all high school ever felt like to me, and I was even in all the AP and College Prep courses. I think that's why I have done fairly well in college despite my strict no-studying policy that I have enforced the last four years. So far schools I am looking at for educational psychology include but are not limited to:

1. UCLA (I enjoy LA, unlike many people)
2. UNC ( even though I hate the Tar Heels with a passion and I will wear Duke shirts every single day)
3. University of Illinois (and no, not because my boyfriend is from Illinois, but because the program is good)
4. UNL (top-notch program here as well)

This is not all because I really have not looked around at as many schools as I want to yet, this is just the beginning. In addition, I also have to look at school for the other programs I am interested in as well. It is probably a good thing I have so long to do this, otherwise you know me, I won't get anything done and I will be a cashier at Office Depot the rest of my life. Speaking of Office Depot, one of my managers is trying to set me up with a co-worker, even though we both have significant others and this has been explained to her by several employees, including me. At least my job is entertaining.

In other random news I forgot to mention before, I am still in the hunt for a new apartment. A lot of you don't know this and while I do have a pretty cool apartment right now, there is only so much shit I can put up with before I grow tired of childish antics and want to move out. Honestly, I should have lived on my own to begin with, but on the other hand if I had done that I would not have met Drake, who is a friend of Brian's. And really, I wouldn't mind living on my own so much, at least the dishes would always be clean and there wouldn't be bread crumbs on the counter for days at a time. It's not like it would be a huge hassle to move out, I still have all my boxes and shit in the closet, I would just need to rent a U-Haul because there is definitely no way my futon or bed would fit in Drake's vehicle or mine and none of my other friends have trucks. It would be worth it though, and I have found some pretty cool places. I even am calling about Highland View, but Teetz and I don't know if we can actually live that close together. I asked him about it first though, and it's not like it is my number one choice, there are a few more I also like that are not as expensive and the only thing that really might suck is the full internet bill but it would be worth it. Plus, I could walk around naked, and that's always fun. We'll see what happens.

Unfortunately at the time of this post, there are still 11 days left until Gavin and Howie. On the other hand, 11 DAYS LEFT TIL GAVIN AND HOWIE!!!!!!!!!!
